I've been really surprised how much news that made. I've seen it get asked
a few times in a few retro places. I would think lots of tv stations,
colleges, and audiophiles would have one but maybe it really is that
obscure.
Given, I've never heard of the format so maybe I'm being naive.

I have 3/4" unatic, svhs, super beta, DAT, minidv, digital 8, adat. never
got into betacam, d1 or any of those monster formats as tape was expensive
as a geek. The sony tape machines for the big digital pro formats are
soooo beautiful though!!!
At this point Im going to have to get the superbeta and svhs machines
overhauled and fearing the cost.

None of us are sure. The Sony DVR units have been pretty easy to find but
the possibility of messing up any of the tapes even as a test ties everything
in a knot. I know a few folks are asking around the A/V offices of a couple
of colleges to see if they have any suitable playback units but so far nothing
yet (due to semester break).

Do those tapes need special handling ? Are they shedding? Chuck any experience with
them?

If there is money to fund this effort, it might be worth talking to Iron Mountain, to see
if they can handle the media. They have people that do this sort of thing, AND, I know
for a fact they have hardware to handle some strange formats.

You could contact https://www.wmbt.org/ to see if they have a Bosch or Sony DEC to read
the tapes.
